tomberek | almost there..... now you use an overlay to add your package to the "pkgs" available in your NixOS config.... something close to this:
| 21:12:39 |
Enric Morales | please correct me if I'm wrong, but maybe I should make an overlay when installing papis, so that it includes papis-zotero, then? | 21:24:51 |
Enric Morales | since the papis-zotero sitedir needs to be patched in papis, right? | 21:25:36 |

dminca | Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue when trying to add more nixpkgs urls to my https://codeberg.org/dminca/nix-config/commit/e3802ac776b6829dcf1427581d1e02af05123339 Does anyone know what might've caused this? you think pinning the | 10:24:04 |
dminca | I forgot to run nix flake update beforehand ... otherwise the rebuild wouldn't have been aware of the new inputs right 🤦♂️ | 10:29:02 |
dminca | alright this was a catastrophe ... seems the nixos-23-11 branch lacks zsh autosuggestions flag, therefore I just reverted back to nixpkgs-unstable ... | 11:27:26 |
dminca | * alright this was a catastrophe ... seems the However I'm not sure if this is coming from me pinning | 11:28:08 |

sam | What commit of nixpkgs does nix build nixpkgs#foo use? | 11:37:04 |
Jassuko | Current version of the channel your system or user environment has? | 12:31:53 |
sam | How does that relate to nix registry ? | 12:32:37 |
sam | If that's the case, why does nix build --eval 'expression containing <nixpkgs>' require the --impure flag, but nix build nixpkgs#foo does not. Is it somehow pure? | 12:34:45 |
sam | Docs say: --impure: Allow access to mutable paths and repositories. , so does nix build nixpkgs#foo not use the mutable paths? | 12:35:48 |
sam | I'm a little bit confused on the difference between registries and channels, and which are considered immutable | 12:36:20 |
sam | Also, if that's the case, why does nix build sometimes fetch nixpkgs from GitHub, even though the channel hasn't changed? | 12:37:08 |
sam | I believe I have a case on my machine where nix build nixpkgs#foo works, but nix-build <nixpkgs> -A foo does not work (build error) | 12:39:05 |
sam | nix build --impure --expr '(import <nixpkgs> {}).foo' also encounters a build error. How can this kind of error be reproduced on another machine? | 12:45:27 |
Qyriad | In reply to@charmonium:matrix.orgYour confusion is understandable, because this is, imho, a major design flaw in the flake registry. Unlike channels the online flake registry doesn't even require a user command to mutate, it simply does | 14:50:54 |
Qyriad | On NixOS unstable, and the next NixOS release, this issue will be worked around to be much less confusing; flake:nixpkgs and <nixpkgs> will both point to the nixpkgs your system was built with: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/254405 | 14:52:19 |
